My oldest ds' 17 yr old hippie gf made us a lovely Mexican dinner with help from all of my kids. It was realy delish and wholesome. It wasn't veg, but it was all organic, and all pastured, and I was so touched they would cook for us like that. Awwww...sweet.

Yay- I am so glad I found this thread! I get so blah about thinking of dinners... I cook professionally so on my days off the LAST thing I want to do is figure out what to make for dinner. It usually results in pasta or cereal. You all have inspired me!

Last night we had "Asian Baked Tofu" (Candle Cafe Cookbook) over brown jasmine rice. The recipe says it's good mashed up and with sunflower sprouts in a sandwich - I may have to make it again for that purpose next week.

I've never made the protien crumbles, but I use everything that you have listed...just start with some of hte enchilada sauce in the bottom of the cp and layer it. I cook it on low all day, or high for 3 hours.

Thanks! I came out really yummy and I just finished up the last of it for lunch yesterday! I threw some jalepeno's on mine and it was sooo good!!

last night was a onion/garlicky tomato sauce over ww pasta, salad, and some of that marinated tofu you can buy already done. I just fried it a bit in a pan. Yesterday was produce day and I wanted to do the enchanted broccoli forest, but was too pooped to cook that much by 6.

Last night I made an "oven-fried" eggplant parmesean that probably could be veganized easily by using NRG instead of egg beaters. It turned out SO good. Basically, slice the eggplant, dip the slices in egg, then in breadcrumbs that have been mixed with salt, garlic powder and Italian seasonings. Then lay on a sheet, bake at 400 for about 15 minutes, flip, bake for another 10, and served covered with good marinara sauce.

We had open faced grilled veggie sandwiches on semolina bread, with fresh mozzarella broiled on top. I made a white bean salad on the side, with red onions, chopped tomato, basil, lemon zest and olive oil.

I made baked tofu with brazed peppers and olives (from D. Madison's cookbook). This is probably the most ambitious recipie I've tried, and it turned out so good! It even looked pretty, so I had to have dh come look at it before I served it.

I made pizza topped with ricotta, mozzerella, and parmesan cheeses and roasted red peppers. And a salad. Then- and I totally stole this idea from someone on this board so, thanks!!!- DD made blueberry and raspberry kabobs on toothpicks for dessert, which she loved doing. She was so proud of herself!

Last night, we had an early, casual dinner out at Panera where DD had a PBJ, (omnivore) DH had French onion soup in a sourdough bowl with whole grain baguette, and I had the vegetarian black bean soup with whole grain baguette.

As for tonight, it's still a few hours off, and I haven't decided yet. I made whole wheat pretzels an hour ago, so we may have those with dinner. I tried one, and it's pretty good with dijon-agave nectar dipping sauce.

We don't have any recipes picked out for the week (except for "sexy low-fat vanilla cupcakes w/ fresh berries" from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World), so we're just winging it with whatever we have on hand until I can get to the store again on Friday.

last night was just a baked tofu lin sandwich made with sliced tomatoes, Follow Your Heart cheddar, nayonnaise, dijon mustard, all on toasted whole wheat bread. It was real yummy with the "cheese" melted (I broiled in the toaster oven)
